58: The Little Things Do Matter and Why We Stand the Line

Send us a text

A recent Facebook post was highlighting the fact a citizen brought in pizza for the inmates and staff...I could hardly believe the responses from citizens and staff.  Be careful, I will probably hurt somebody's feelings with my commentary.

There are so many things wrong with this scenario, from staff manipulation, to contraband introduction, to an attitude of"It's no big deal!" and "But, they deserve it, they were good."  I take a very honest look at this through the eyes of a correctional officer and highlight why this and inmate fund-raiders are a bad idea for staff and security.

I also have a few words about another post that said, "Rehabilitation is part of a Correctional Officers' job."
